Delignification Pathways for the Engineering of Nanostructured Wood

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Delignification severity in wood is determined by experimental parameters that control the removal of noncellulosic components, thereby shaping the resulting chemistry and microstructure. Although delignification is crucial for engineered wood fabrication, quantitative guidelines spanning different chemistries and processes are lacking.

Effect of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Bacteria–Coated Jute Fiber on Workability, Durability, and Microstructural Properties of Concrete

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Concrete’s durability is often compromised by low tensile strength, cracking, and limited self‐repair. Natural fibers like jute offer reinforcement but may absorb moisture, negatively affecting workability and durability, necessitating additional mortar for optimal performance.

Degradation of Kenaf Core by Steam Explosion and Saccharification for Useful Utilization of Biowaste.

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING OF JAPAN, 2001
In order to use effectively the core after utilizing the bark in a kenaf plant, the degradation characteristics and enzymatic saccharification of steam exploded core were studied experimentally. The effects of the steam explosion on the modification of kenaf core, i.e.

Influence of the chemical composition of kenaf bast and core on the alkaline pulping response

Journal of Wood Science, 2001
The bast and core of kenaf,Hibiscus cannabinus L., have markedly different chemical components and alkaline cooking responses. The bast had about double the hot-water extractives content and only about half the lignin content of the core. The core contained a large amount of hemicellulose, mostly composed of xylan.
